This is the conclusion of our two part episode about the school shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida. If you haven't heard part one yet, I highly recommend you go back and listen to that one before downloading this episode.

As a reminder, this is not a comprehensive account of everything that happened that February 14th in 2018. It is the deeply personal account of one officer officer George who was on duty that day and ran to help.

As with part one, I want to warn you that this episode contains graphic descriptions of some of the deceased high school students that officer George encountered as he was rendering aid. This is Parkland part two.

As a door quietly goes shut, you can just hear the faintest call for help. You just hear help. So again, we get on the radio. Hey, we got somebody down. We're going to advance in the third floor.

Hi there. I'm Yardley. I'm Dan. I'm Dave and I'm Paul and this is Small Town Gicks. Dave and I are identical twins and retired detectives from Small Town USA.

I'm a veteran gold case investigator who helped catch the golden state killer using a revolutionary DNA tool.

Between the three of us, we've investigated thousands of crimes from petty theft to sexual assault, child abuse to murder. Each case we cover is told by the detective who investigated it, offering a rare personal account of how they saw the crime.

Names, places, and certain details have been changed to protect the privacy of victims and their families.

And although we're aware that some of our listeners may be familiar with these cases, we ask you to please join us in continuing to protect the true identities of those involved out of respect for what they've been through.

Thank you.

I feel like we should remind our listeners that we had to abruptly stop for about three hours because our hotel here in South Florida was on fire.

I kid you not. Everybody is safe. I don't actually know how the fire started, but suddenly we hear yelling on the street. Dave goes to the window and he goes, why are they all looking up?

Because we're in a high rise.

I thought there was a jumper.

And luckily no jumper, but then all of a sudden we saw flames lapping up the side of the building. So we all got out. The fire truck showed up and now we're back.
